Evaluation of the electrostatic energy for N point charges:
Ewald summation methods – exact results for periodic systems See lecture notes for details. 1/16/2019 PHY 712 Spring Lecture 2

Comment on electrostatic energy evaluation --
Slight digression: Comment on electrostatic energy evaluation -- When the discrete charge distribution becomes a continuous charge density: the electrostatic energy becomes Notice, in this case, it is not possible to exclude the ``self-interaction''. Previous expression can be rewritten in terms of the electrostatic potential or field: 1/16/2019 PHY 712 Spring Lecture 2
